Engineer: Project Management and Career Episode
CDR Writing Style for Engineers Australia – An Example
A competency demonstration report (CDR) requires migrant engineers applying to Engineers Australia to write three career episode reports (CERs). Here is an example of writing style for a career episode report (CER). This example is taken from Engineers Australia website.
The purpose of the CDR is to demonstrate: • how you have applied your engineering knowledge and skills; • that such application meets the competency standards of the relevant occupational category in Australia.
Your CER is to be printed on A4 sheets, in English, in narrative form, using the first person singular and should describe the specific contributions you have made.
This example is taken from the Engineers Australia Handbook – Chartered Status A HANDBOOK FOR APPLICANTS. You can download an electronic copy of this handbook from the Engineers Australia website.

Professional Engineer
Career Episode Title: Switch Board Upgrade Acme Widgets
Competency Element Claimed
Dates of Career Episode: 25.02.98 – 3.10.98
The project consisted of upgrading the main switchboard for the Acme Widget Company. It was my responsibility to determine the total power requirements for the new plant, calculate the power consumption of the existing plant and determine the maximum available power supplied through an existing board and the 11kV/415V transformer.After analysing the available information, I deduced that at least three alternatives for powering the new plant existed. A separate 11kV feeder could be brought onto the site to energise a new transformer and main board, the existing main board could be replaced with a new board or the existing main board could be upgraded. The last two options required the feeder cables to the main board to be upgraded.
Technically, all three options were acceptable, although
